Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don't Mess Around!

This was a new type of equipment. It was specially designed for long-distance infantry marches. However, Ye Jian had never heard of it before. She couldn’t help but ask, “Is it different from our current combat backpacks?”

She had never seen or heard of it. She did not understand it at all, nor did she have a basic understanding of this equipment.

Seeing this, Xia Jinyuan picked up a pencil and started drawing on a piece of paper. “Our combat bag now has a large capacity. Comparatively, the load is also large. This time, we’re carrying 25 kilograms of combat equipment. I think you must be having a hard time too.

“However, this exoskeleton kinetic device is different. This is a ‘human-body integration’ device. Its assisting device has the integration function of biological functions, mechanical kinetic energy, and artificial intelligence. It can bear more than 100 kilograms of load. The average marching speed is no less than 300 meters per minute, and the maximum is 400 meters per minute.

“Its self-sustaining energy means it can be used continuously for no less than 24 hours. At the same time, it can detect individual muscle activity through sensors distributed over the shoulders, waist, knees, calves, and other parts of the body to form parameters such as endurance, exercise, and so on.”

Hearing this, Ye Jian was dumbfounded. This kind of equipment was like alien equipment to her! There were also sensors that could detect things. It sounded very scientific and technical.

Looking at her shocked expression, Xia Jinyuan couldn’t help but raise his hand and intimately scratch the tip of her pretty nose. He smiled and said, “I haven’t explained everything clearly and you’re already so shocked. When I’m done, won’t you be so shocked that you think such equipment doesn’t exist?”

“It’s not like that. I just think that it’s very rare.” Ye Jian looked at the simple drawing. Just by looking at it, she couldn’t see anything special.

Xia Jinyuan smiled. “I was surprised when I saw it too. However, our country is not the only one secretly researching such equipment. The Western countries are the same.”

“We’re the first to use this batch of equipment. We still need to write a report after this and list what needs to be improved on. It’ll take many years for the technology to mature.”

He waved his hand in front of Ye Jian, and his slender fingers made a number. Ye Jian held her breath.

At least another ten years!

“This… is too long. Hasn’t it already been developed? Even a missile and a satellite don’t need so much time.” Ye Jian couldn’t believe it. A piece of equipment needed ten years of development. How was that possible?

In her previous life, after entering the 21st century, the war between the United States, Iraq, and Afghanistan had revealed many secret weapons. If it would take at least ten years for a piece of equipment to be developed fully, it sounded very unlikely.

Xia Jinyuan tapped the paper with the tip of his pen. He smiled and sighed. “For a long time, the development of infantry has been to improve the combat ability of individual soldiers through mobility, defense, and attack. But now, it’s no longer possible. We still need to add ‘information force’. As the number of combat equipment increases, there are countless lethal weapons carried by individual soldiers. Every type has its own specific function and is adaptable to combat environments.

“For weapons like hand grenades, they can be divided into killing, anti-tank, combustion, smoking, lighting, anti-explosion grenades, as well as drill and training hand grenades. The hand grenades meant to kill can also be divided into defensive and explosive types. The firing method can also be divided into hand throwing, gun firing, or deployment. Hand throwing, gun firing, and grenade launcher can be deployed in three or more uses.”
